Title: Cosmo Keyboard for gaming - help needed
Post by: alien2003 on May 20, 2020, 12:32:13 pm

Hey!

I'm wondering if it's possible to sometimes utilize amazing Cosmo keyboard and external mouse for playing FPS games like CoD Mobile or NOVA 3. Most games don't work with it, even GeForce Now application doesn't recognize keypresses until virtual on-screen buttons are enabled. Any solution for that?

It should be possible. SuperTuxKart for Android is a perfect example of a game that does support it.

Probably best to ask the developer? In apps that were ported to android from desktop (vlc? wesnoth port) keyboard works as the porters never bothered to remove the code (usually sdl keycodes), for pure android apps they probably never added the keyboard option in the first place?
